Australia's premier short-handed sailing endurance mountain running race is held every Easter in Tasmania.

First conducted in 1989, the Hydro Tasmania Three Peaks Race is a major event on the Tasmanian sporting calendar attracting large crowds at various locations and extensive media following each Easter. The next annual race will start on Good Friday, 2nd April 2010.

The race is divided into three legs of two sections consisting of a sailing and running leg.

For Legs 3 and 4, teams sail to Coles Bay where two crew members are disembarked to complete the circuit of the peninsula. They proceed via the road and marked track to Wineglass Bay, up over Mt Graham to Mt Freycinet, then the East Freycinet Saddle to Cooks Beach, returning to Coles Bay via the Peninsula Track, Hazards Beach, Isthmus Track and the Wineglass Bay Track over the saddle between Mt Mayson and Mt Amos.
